Abstract
The jumping toy comprises a puppet, a plurality of springs, and a counter. The counter and the plurality of springs attach to the puppet. The jumping toy is configured for use with a supporting surface. The jumping toy is pressed against the supporting surface such that the plurality of springs is deformed. When the jumping toy is released, each of the plurality of springs returns to its relaxed position such that the jumping toy “jumps” to an elevation above the supporting surface. The counter is a mechanical device. The counter counts the number of times the jumping toy jumps. The puppet is a composite prism structure that visually presents a dynamic expression during the use of the jumping toy.
